Abstract

The present study revealed the effect of maturation process on calcium, phosphorus,
sodium and potassium concentration in the blood of Channa punctatus.
Calcium concentration was highest while phosphorus level, the lowest during
post-spawning period. Na+ and K+ were highest in post-spawning period and
lowest during spawning period. Further it is important to note that all electrolytes
were found in higher concentration in males in comparison to females.
Thus maturation has its impact on electrolyte concentration in blood
